BBC Radio 4 Extra - Natural Histories Comedy Awards

Shaun Keaveny celebrates his favourite comedy heroes from the animal kingdom.

Made for 4 Extra. Shaun Keaveny, celebrating his favourite comedy heroes from the animal kingdom, reveals which member defects in the woods, and who has got the biggest tentacles.

Forget your Grammys and Oscars, there's only one awards ceremony that everyone's talking about... Well, nearly everyone. Well, mainly animals really. The Natural Histories Comedy Awards!

Presented by the completely jawsome Shaun Keaveny (BBC 6 Music), it features comedy monologues from the totally fintastic David Schneider (BBC TVs The Day Today, Knowing Me, Knowing You... with Alan Partridge), the meteoric Harriet Carmichael, and the dung-believable Kathy Clugston.

From a parrot with jealousy issues, to an anemone that doesn't want to live forever - this is a unique take on the world of natural history, told by the species themselves. So, if you want to know which member of the animal kingdom defects in the woods, and who's got the biggest tentacles then good reef, you've come to the right place.

Producers: Will Drysdale and Jack Soper.
